High risk Employees and caregivers must show competence, good judgment and self-control.
State rule 746.1201(1) (minimum standards for child-care centers): "Responsibilities of Employees and Caregivers -Demonstrate Competency, Good Judgment, Self-control"
Inspector's note: This standard was tasked as part of the investigation and found to be deficient. A child was injured while at the operation and received medical attention. A caregiver lifted a child by his left arm on a mat during naptime which caused an injury to his elbow.
Corrected Jan 27, 2026, verified by the state Feb 3, 2026. The inspector gave technical assistance (advice on how to comply).

What the risk levels mean
Texas gives every rule a weight from High to Low, based on the risk to children when it is broken. A citation is one rule found not met at one visit. How to read a Texas inspection report.
- High risk: breaking it can put a child in immediate danger (for example supervision, ratios, safe sleep, background checks, prohibited punishment).
- Medium-high risk: a real safety or health concern, but usually less immediate (for example hazards in a room, missing medical or allergy information, required training).
- Medium risk: important for health and safety over time (for example records, drills, equipment upkeep).
- Medium-low risk: mostly paperwork or reporting that supports safety.
- Low risk: administrative requirements with little direct risk to children.
